Garver announces 2025 Spirit of Garver Award finalists

Employees are at the center of Garver’s award-winning culture. A people-first firm, Garver invests in employees with a generous benefits package, industry-leading Wellness Program, and a purposeful focus on employee engagement and recognition. The most prestigious employee honor is the Spirit of Garver award, given each year to employees who exemplify Garver’s values.  

Spirit of Garver finalists are nominated by their peers and winners are announced in October at the firm’s yearly company-wide gathering and celebration, Garver Summit, during the highly anticipated awards show.  

This year Garver became one of the first firms to receive the designation of Legacy Best Firm to Work For from the Zweig Group. Garver also remained on the Zwieg Group’s Hot Firm List of the 100 fastest-growing architecture, engineering, planning, environmental, and construction (AEC) firms across the United States and Canada for the 15th consecutive year.  

With more than 1,400 employees across 62 offices and 22 states and counting, Garver’s growth remains strong. This success is thanks to the incredible technical expertise and client service provided by the firm’s employees, and Garver remains committed to recognizing and supporting them every day, and especially during Garver Summit.
